I stayed at friend's in September last year, who lives in a cul de sac, which is a residents' permit area, the bays being duly signed and marked, as per the pics below. I parked overnight outside of the marked bay areas, on a bit of road with no signage or road markings, which I assumed was for visitors. A ticket was issued for non display of permit at 8.30 am the following day.
I submitted an informal online rejection at the time, according to the ticket, and heard nothing more. I assumed that was the end of the matter, but came home earlier this week to a letter, sent at the end of January, saying my rejection had been dismissed, and I had another two weeks discretional grace to settle the ticket at half price, ie £35. I've missed that window by being away, but now have to wait for an official "notice to owner" letter, before I can appeal officially.
I'd be interested in any opinions (not about the Skoda!!! - I'd just bought it and was trying it out!) or legal tips/advice please.
